    Summary

    Trouble at the docks. Are you free right now, N?” Barbara’s voice crackles through the comms. A smirk tugged at Dick's lips. A little action was exactly what he needed to break the monotony.

    Just as he’s about to reply, however, Dick suddenly spots a shivering figure standing dangerously close to the ledge of a rooftop. Nightwing immediately shifts priorities.

    “Sorry, O. I’m gonna be a little preoccupied.” He says.

    Summary

    One moment, Jason was peacefully sleeping, perfectly content with his life with the League of Assassins. Okay, so maybe not content content, but he wasn't unhappy, either. Then Talia woke him up at 2 am, threw three children at him, and told him to get them to America and far away from Ra's al Ghul.

    What the fuck.

    The last thing he wanted was to see Bruce. But with three brats relying on him and no Talia, there weren't many options for sanctuary. He just didn't expect the kids to grow on him so much in two short weeks.

    Summary

    Ever wonder what happened to the fighting dog Frank rescued in Daredevil season two? Me too, so I wrote a story about it.

    “No, Pluto. That’s enough,” the hundred-pound mass of gray fur relented, sitting down heavily on the man’s feet but absolutely vibrating with anticipation, staring up at Frank with big, shining dog eyes. He whined and yowled, front paw reaching for Frank, clawing at the space between them.
    Grimacing, the man laid his hand on Pluto’s big square head. “I’m really sorry, he’s not aggressive, I promise, he’s a rescue and he’s come so far in his training,” The stranger was in his late twenties, with dark hair, brown eyes, and a sheepish grin. Though he had the posture of a New Yorker, his apology stank of the Midwest.
    “I know,” Frank said, swallowing hard, relented to the dog’s pleas, and squatted down. “I was the one that rescued him.”

    Summary

    Jason Todd came back from the dead.

    This is a well known fact at this point. What isn't well known, is that not every universe brought him back in such a timely fashion.In one dimension, far far way, Jason Todd came back to life a few years later than he should've.

    It can't have changed that much. Right?

    Summary

    One moment, Red Hood was fighting with Black Mask, listening to the idiot go on about how he'd murder Jason long before he'd become a problem. The next... Jason was ten years in the past, nine-years-old, and fending for himself on the streets of Gotham. Bruce might not know about Jason yet in the timeline, but Batman was the only one who could protect him against Black Mask.

    If only Jason didn't hate him so much...

    Summary

    While walking home from an event at Wayne Enterprises, Tim and Damian are kidnapped and sent to an alternate dimension. In a world where superheroes are merely comic book characters and the idea of the multiverse is only a theory found within the pages of science fiction, how are Tim and Damian going to return home? How long will they be stranded on this strange Earth? And will the boys murder each other before they figure it out?

    Summary

    The news that Timothy Drake, Gotham’s cryptid millionaire, has shot the Joker dead during a public live-stream hits the world like a freight train—and that is just the opening salvo of his bugfuck plan.

    Maybe there exists, in the multiverse, a configuration of Jason Todd who will weather this with decorum, dignity and self-respect. This version of Jason Todd decides that the life of an academic is not, really, all that rewarding. In contrast, the life of Timothy Drake’s live-in house-husband is looking more appealing by the second.

    Summary

    Despite everything he might have tried to avoid it, Jason had to grudgingly admit that after a) utterly failing to kill any of his family and b) getting to the stage of actively helping them not die, he was actually back in the family for the long haul. Damn it. Somehow this turned into Jason taking a job in the family business, which would be well within his comfort zone if they were a mafia syndicate, instead of the proprietors of a business that generated a significant fraction of America's GDP.

    Jason has reservations about this.

    There is one consolation in this hellscape of paperwork, meetings, snotty IT workers and being co-workers with his idiot brothers. He meets an intern named Tim, who never fails to make him smile.

    Summary

    Christ. Christ. It’s Jason.

    -

    Tim allies himself with Ra's Al Ghul in his quest to prove that Bruce is really alive. While there he stumbles upon one more undead family member than he bargained for.

    Jason's return to the Batfamily after living catatonic for four years with the League of Assassins.

    Summary

    Jason has put his life back together just in time to see the whole world fall apart. As the pandemic spreads across Gotham, he's struggling to maintain his new and fragile equilibrium in the face of two separate pressure points:

    One, he's back working in Bruce's restaurant while his own joint's launch seems to be dying before it can even get off the ground, frustrated and beset by relationships still fraught with trauma. And two, he's walked back into a Gotham he can barely recognize, with people locked down in their homes, the streets paved with fear of a choking, ugly, infectious death, and an attack on Alfred that he can't avenge.

    With the high stress, high stakes world of haute cuisine combined with the Wayne family drama in daylight and pounding empty streets feeling like an idiot in armor watching people die at night, it's only a matter of time before he cracks for good.

    Then, suddenly, he gets a reprieve.

    One night a vigilante food truck rolls up to his corner of the world, offering Red Hood a shot at redemption.

    And during the day, there's the Table's new pot scrubber, Tim Drake, who might need some redemption of his own...

    Summary

    “Yeah but they don’t have the fucking balls to come in here after me, especially not if you’re here.”

    “And what if I’m not, one day? I don’t live here you know, kid.”

    “Ellie,” she corrects him, unaware that Joel already knows her name from the first night those kids were after her, “my name is Ellie.”

    He waves her words away. “My point still stands.”

    Summary

    This is a childhood home, she realizes as she wanders around. There are little markings on her bedroom doorframe, each with a date and another number. After a long moment of staring at them, she realizes that they’re height markings. In this universe, in this house, Joel’s been watching her grow up.

    A stuffed fox sits on her bed, discolored and misshapen with years of being held. There’s a basket of clean laundry in the corner, and she knows without even thinking about it that Joel is the one who folded it. Her bedspread is littered with neat little holes, like she took a pair of safety scissors to it when he wasn’t looking. Birthday cards from Joel and Tommy and some names she doesn’t recognize are tucked into the frame of her mirror. There’s a guitar in the corner, and she imagines that Joel must have taught her to play.

    How strange it is, Ellie thinks, to be surrounded by so much evidence of love she never felt.

    OR: Ellie gets shot and has a very bad time of it.

    Summary

    Her ears are ringing when they pull her away. Joel took the brunt force of the flash bang, swinging her around like she weighed nothing to curl around her, but she’s just the slightest bit wobbly when they try to take her away from him, still on the ground.

    Doesn’t stop her from screaming for him, though.

    Even half out of it, Joel always answers when she calls, and she sees him trying to stagger onto his knees, calling back for her.

    Then a soldier hits him on the back of the head.

    And Ellie sees fucking red.
